Mayor Till: Göppingen is a reliable partner
Göppingen’s mayor Guido Till called Schuler a
renowned ambassador and first-class figurehead for
Göppingen as a business location. He claimed that
the city offered everything companies needed for a
successful investment. “We are a reliable partner for
our businesses,” declared Till, also with reference to
the city’s trade tax rate, which has been unchanged
over the last 15 years. “As the mayor of Göppingen,
the fact that our ancient city of the Hohenstaufen
dynasty is home to such a global player with
operations in 40 different countries fills me with
pride.”
S. I. T. located at “Schuler-Platz 1”

be “Schuler-Platz 1” (1, Schuler Square), in order
to underline the special bond between city and
company.
The citizens of Göppingen can experience the
Schuler Innovation Tower up close this weekend by
registering for a guided tour. The tour will also enable
them to enjoy the view from the roof terrace of the
54-meter-tall building. Schuler will also be offering
special tours for its own employees on Monday and
Tuesday.
Work on the interior fittings of Göppingen’s new
landmark building, as well as calibration and test
runs for its supply systems and amenities (such
as the air conditioning system), will be completed
in late summer and fall. After that, staff can begin
moving into the Group’s new headquarters. The
dismantling of Schuler’s old Engineering Building
and the creation of new outdoor facilities is due to be
completed in 2018.
